The entire contents of each of these applications are herebyincorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

The present invention relates to substituted pyrimidine derivatives andtheir use in therapy. More specifically, but not exclusively, theinvention relates to compounds that are capable of inhibiting one ormore protein kinases, particularly polo-like kinases.

BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION

The Polo-like kinase family consists of key cell cycle regulatoryenzymes with integral roles in controlling entry into and progressionthrough mitosis. Many tumour cells express high levels of PLK1 and areresponsive to antisense oligonucleotides targeting this protein.

Initiation of mitosis requires activation of M-phase promoting factor(MPF), i.e. the complex between CDK1 and B-type cyclins [Nurse, P.(1990) Nature, 344, 503-508]. The latter accumulate during the S and G2phases of the cell cycle and promote the inhibitory phosphorylation ofthe MPF complex by WEE1, MIK1, and MYT1 kinases. At the end of the G2phase, corresponding dephosphorylation by the dual-specificityphosphatase CDC25C triggers the activation of MPF [Nigg, E. A. (2001)Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol., 2, 21-32]. In interphase, cyclin B localizesto the cytoplasm and becomes phosphorylated during prophase, followed bynuclear translocation. The nuclear accumulation of active MPF duringprophase is thought to be important for initiating M-phase events[Takizawa, C. G. and Morgan, D. O. (2000) Curr. Opin. Cell Biol., 12,658-665]. However, nuclear MPF is kept inactive by WEE1 unlesscounteracted by CDC25C. The phosphatase CDC25C itself, localized to thecytoplasm during interphase, accumulates in the nucleus in prophase. Thenuclear entry of both cyclin B and CDC25C are promoted throughphosphorylation by PLK1 [Roshak, A. K., Capper, E. A., Imburgia, C.,Fornwald, J., Scott, G. and Marshall, L. A. (2000) Cell. Signalling, 12,405-411]. This kinase is thus an important regulator of M-phaseinitiation.

In humans, there exist three closely related polo-like kinases (PLKs)[Glover, D. M., Hagan, I. M. and Tavares, A. A. (1998) Genes Dev., 12,3777-3787]. They contain a highly homologous N-terminal catalytic kinasedomain and their C-termini contain two or three conserved regions, thepolo boxes. The function of the polo boxes remains incompletelyunderstood but polo box-dependent PLK1 activity is required for propermetaphase/anaphase transition and cytokinesis [Seong, Y.-S., Kamijo, K.,Lee, J.-S., Fernandez, E., Kuriyama, R., Mild, T. and Lee, K. S. (2002)J Biol. Chem., 277, 32282-32293]. Of the three PLKs, PLK1 is the bestcharacterized; it regulates a number of cell division cycle effects,including the onset of mitosis, DNA-damage checkpoint activation,regulation of the anaphase promoting complex, phosphorylation of theproteasome, and centrosome duplication and maturation. Mammalian PLK2(also known as SNK) and PLK3 (also known as PRK and FNK) were originallyshown to be immediate early gene products. PLK3 kinase activity appearsto peak during late S and G2 phase. It is also activated during DNAdamage checkpoint activation and severe oxidative stress. PLK3 alsoplays an important role in the regulation of microtubule dynamics andcentrosome function in the cell and deregulated PLK3 expression resultsin cell cycle arrest and apoptosis [Wang, Q., Xie, S., Chen, J.,Fukusawa, K., Naik, U., Traganos, F., Darzynkiewicz, Z., Jhanwar-Uniyal,M. and Dai, W. (2002) Mol. Cell. Biol., 22, 3450-3459]. PLK2 is theleast-well understood homologue of the three PLKs. Both PLK2 and PLK3may have additional important post-mitotic functions [Kauselmann, G.,Weiler, M., Wulff, P., Jessberger, S., Konietzko, U., Scafidi, J.,Staubli, U., Bereiter-Hahn, J., Strebhardt, K. and Kuhl, D. (1999) EMBOJ., 18, 5528-5539].

The fact that human PLKs regulate some fundamental aspects of mitosiswas shown by anti-PLK1 antibody microinjection of human tumour cells[Lane, H. A. and Nigg, E. A. (1996) J. Cell. Biol., 135, 1701-1713].This treatment had no effect on DNA replication but impaired celldivision. Cells were arrested in mitosis and showed abnormaldistribution of condensed chromatin and monoastral microtubulesnucleated from duplicated but unseparated centrosomes. By contrast,non-immortalized human cells arrested as single, mononucleated cells inG2. Moreover, when PLK1 function was blocked through adenovirus-mediateddelivery of a dominant-negative gene, tumour-selective apoptosis in manytumour cell lines was observed, whereas again normal epithelial cells,although arrested in mitosis, escaped the mitotic catastrophe seen intumour cells [Cogswell, J. P., Brown, C. E., Bisi, J. E. and Neill, S.D. (2000) Cell Growth Differ., 11, 615-623]. PLK1 activity is thusnecessary for the functional maturation of centrosomes in late G2/earlyprophase and subsequent establishment of a bipolar spindle. Furthermore,these results suggest the presence in normal cells of acentrosome-maturation checkpoint that is sensitive to PLK1 impairment.Depletion of cellular PLK1 through the small interfering RNA (siRNA)technique also confirmed that this protein is required for multiplemitotic processes and completion of cytokinesis [Liu, X. and Erikson, R.L. (2003) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 100, 5789-5794]. A potentialtherapeutic rationale for PLK inhibition is also suggested by work withPLK1-specific antisense oligonucleotides, which were shown to inducegrowth inhibition in cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo[Spankuch-Schmitt, B., Wolf, G., Solbach, C., Loibl, S., Knecht, R.,Stegmuller, M., von Minckwitz, G., Kaufmann, M. and Strebhardt, K.(2002) Oncogene, 21, 3162-3171]. Constitutive expression of PLK1 inmammalian cells was shown to lead to malignant transformation [Smith, M.R., Wilson, M. L., Hamanaka, R., Chase, D., Kung, H., Longo, D. L. andFerris, D. K. (1997) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 234, 397-405].Furthermore, overexpression of PLK1 is frequently observed in humantumours and PLK1 expression is of prognostic value for patientssuffering from various types of tumours [Takahashi, T., Sano, B.,Nagata, T., Kato, H., Sugiyama, Y., Kunieda, K., Kimura, M., Okano, Y.and Saji, S. (2003) Cancer Science, 94, 148-152; Tokumitsu, Y., Mori,M., Tanaka, S., Akazawa, K., Nakano, S. and Niho, Y. (1999) Int. J.Oncol., 15, 687-692; Wolf, G., Elez, R., Doermer, A., Holtrich, U.,Ackermann, H., Stutte, H. J., Altmannsberger, H.-M., Rübsamen-Waigmann,H. and Strebhardt, K. (1997) Oncogene, 14, 543-549].

Although the therapeutic potential of pharmacological PLK inhibition hasbeen appreciated [Kraker, A. J. and Booher, R. N. (1999) In AnnualReports in Medicinal Chemistry (Vol. 34) (Doherty, A. M., ed.), pp.247-256, Academic Press], very little has been reported to dateconcerning small molecule PLK inhibitors that may be useful as drugs.One of the few biochemical PLK1 inhibitors characterized to date isscytonemin, a symmetric indolic marine natural product [Stevenson, C.S., Capper, E. A., Roshak, A. K., Marquez, B., Eichman, C., Jackson, J.R., Mattern, M., Gerwick, W. H., Jacobs, R. S. and Marshall, L. A.(2002) J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 303, 858-866; Stevenson, C. S., Capper,E. A., Roshak, A. K., Marquez, B., Grace, K., Gerwick, W. H., Jacobs, R.S. and Marshall, L. A. (2002) Inflammation Research, 51, 112-114].Scytonemin inhibits phosphorylation of CDC25C by recombinant PLK1 withan IC₅₀ value of about 2 μM (at an ATP concentration of 10 μM).Inhibition is apparently reversible and the mechanism with respect toATP of mixed-competitive mode. Similar potency against other proteinserine/threonine- and dual specificity cell-cycle kinases, includingMYT1, CHK1, CDK1/cyclin B, and PKC, was observed. Scytonemin showedpronounced anti-proliferative effects on various human cell lines invitro. Further small molecule PLK inhibitors and their use in thetreatment of proliferative disorders are described in Internationalpatent application WO2004/067000 in the name of Cyclacel Limited.

The present invention seeks to elucidate new small molecule PLKinhibitors. More specifically, the invention seeks to provide smallmolecule PLK inhibitors that have therapeutic applications in thetreatment of a range of proliferative disorders.

Similarly, compound [371] displays advantageous pharmacokineticproperties in terms of its systemic exposure and oral bioavailability,compared to structurally related compounds known in the art.

One preferred embodiment of the invention relates to a subset ofcompounds that are characterised by low cellular efflux by theATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters such as the drug-efflux pumpP-glycoprotein (P-gp). It is known that P-gp efflux substrates commonlyshow poor oral absorption due to the action of P-gp which can transportabsorbed drug back into the gut [Ambudkar S. V., et al. (2003) Oncogene,22, 7468-7485]. P-gp can also reduce the systemic exposure of substratesthrough promoting excretion into bile and urine. In addition to beingdrug efflux pumps, ABC transporters can confer drug resistance to tumourcells through elevated expression. Expression of P-gp is widely known tobe a mechanism by which cancer cells can acquire multi-drug resistance(MDR) [Gottesman M. M., et al. (2002) Nat. Rev. Cancer, 2, 48-58].Certain tumours derived from cells that normally express P-gp canexhibit intrinsic drug resistance [Ambudkar S. V., et al. (2005) TrendsPharmacol. Sci., 26, 385-387]. Drugs that are readily transported out ofcells do not accumulate in high levels in transporter-expressing cells,limiting the success of the therapy due to reduced drug-targetinteraction.

Compounds exhibiting low cellular efflux therefore potentially haveapplications in the oral treatment of cancer, treatment of epithelialcell derived tumours and drug-resistant malignancies, as well has havinga lower potential for inducing drug resistance through increased effluxpump expression. Particularly preferred compounds of the invention thatexhibit low cellular efflux include compounds [371], [372] and[377]-[391]. Further details of cell viability assays and cellularefflux studies may be found in the Example 9 and FIG. 3.

In addition, compounds of the invention which exhibit low MDR/parentalcell asymmetry in cell viability assays are also more effective atinhibiting PLK1 within MDR tumour cells than compounds of the prior art.Thus, these compounds have greater potential as therapeutic PLKinhibitors. Details of experiments measuring PLK1 inhibition inA2780-A2780/ADR cell line pairs are set forth in the accompanyingexamples.

The compounds of the invention have been found to possessanti-proliferative activity and are therefore believed to be of use inthe treatment of proliferative disorders such as cancers, leukaemias andother disorders associated with uncontrolled cellular proliferation suchas psoriasis and restenosis.

Thus, one aspect of the invention relates to the use of a compound ofthe invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in thepreparation of a medicament for treating a proliferative disorder.

As used herein the phrase “preparation of a medicament” includes the useof one or more of the above described compounds directly as themedicament in addition to its use in a screening programme for furtherantiproliferative agents or in any stage of the manufacture of such amedicament.

Using such assays it may bedetermined whether a compound is anti-proliferative in the context ofthe present invention.

One preferred embodiment relates to the use of one or more compounds ofthe invention in the treatment of proliferative disorders. Preferably,the proliferative disorder is a cancer or leukaemia. The termproliferative disorder is used herein in a broad sense to include anydisorder that requires control of the cell cycle, for examplecardiovascular disorders such as restenosis and cardiomyopathy,auto-immune disorders such as glomerulonephritis and rheumatoidarthritis, dermatological disorders such as psoriasis,anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, antiparasitic disorders such as malaria,emphysema and alopecia. In these disorders, the compounds of the presentinvention may induce apoptosis or maintain stasis within the desiredcells as required.

In one preferred embodiment of the invention, the proliferative disorderis cancer or leukaemia, more preferably cancer.

In one preferred embodiment, the proliferative disorder is a solidtumour.

In another preferred embodiment, the proliferative disorder is ahematological cancer. Preferably, the haematological cancer isleukaemia, more preferably, advanced leukemias or myelodysplasticsyndromes (MDS). Other examples include acute myelogenous leukemia(AML), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) or chronic lymphocytic leukemia(CLL).

In another preferred embodiment, the proliferative disorder isglomerulonephritis.

In yet another preferred embodiment, the proliferative disorder isrheumatoid arthritis.

In one embodiment of the invention, the compound of the invention isadministered in an amount sufficient to inhibit at least one PLK enzyme.

A further aspect of the invention relates to a method of treating aPLK-dependent disorder, said method comprising administering to asubject in need thereof, a compound of the invention or apharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as defined above in an amountsufficient to inhibit PLK.

The polo-like kinases (PLKs) constitute a family of serine/threonineprotein kinases. Mitotic Drosophila melanogaster mutants at the pololocus display spindle abnormalities [Sunkel et al., J. Cell Sci., 1988,89, 25] and polo was found to encode a mitotic kinase [Llamazares etal., Genes Dev., 1991, 5, 2153]. In humans, there exist three closelyrelated PLKs [Glover et al., Genes Dev., 1998, 12, 3777]. They contain ahighly homologous amino-terminal catalytic kinase domain and theircarboxyl termini contain two or three conserved regions, the polo boxes.The function of the polo boxes remains incompletely understood but theyare implicated in the targeting of PLKs to subcellular compartments [Leeet al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1998, 95, 9301; Leung et al., Nat.Struct. Biol., 2002, 9, 719], mediation of interactions with otherproteins [Kauselmann et al., EMBO J., 1999, 18, 5528], or may constitutepart of an autoregulatory domain [Nigg, Curr. Opin. Cell Biol., 1998,10, 776]. Furthermore, the polo box-dependent PLK1 activity is requiredfor proper metaphase/anaphase transition and cytokinesis [Yuan et al.,Cancer Res., 2002, 62, 4186; Seong et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2002, 277,32282].

Studies have shown that human PLKs regulate some fundamental aspects ofmitosis [Lane et al., J Cell. Biol., 1996, 135, 1701; Cogswell et al.,Cell Growth Differ., 2000, 11, 615]. In particular, PLK1 activity isbelieved to be necessary for the functional maturation of centrosomes inlate G2/early prophase and subsequent establishment of a bipolarspindle. Depletion of cellular PLK1 through the small interfering RNA(siRNA) technique has also confirmed that this protein is required formultiple mitotic processes and completion of cytokinesis [Liu et al.,Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 2002, 99, 8672].

In a more preferred embodiment of the invention, the compound of theinvention is administered in an amount sufficient to inhibit PLK1.

Of the three human PLKs, PLK1 is the best characterized; it regulates anumber of cell division cycle effects, including the onset of mitosis[Toyoshima-Morimoto et al., Nature, 2001, 410, 215; Roshak et al., Cell.Signalling, 2000, 12, 405], DNA-damage checkpoint activation [Smits etal., Nat. Cell Biol., 2000, 2, 672; van Vugt et al., J. Biol. Chem.,2001, 276, 41656], regulation of the anaphase promoting complex [Sumaraet al., Mol. Cell, 2002, 9, 515; Golan et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2002,277, 15552; Kotani et al., Mol. Cell, 1998, 1, 371], phosphorylation ofthe proteasome [Feng et al., Cell Growth Differ., 2001, 12, 29], andcentrosome duplication and maturation [Dai et al., Oncogene, 2002, 21,6195].

In one particularly preferred embodiment, the compounds of the inventionare ATP-antagonistic inhibitors of PLK1.

In the present context ATP antagonism refers to the ability of aninhibitor compound to diminish or prevent PLK catalytic activity, i.e.phosphotransfer from ATP to a macromolecular PLK substrate, by virtue ofreversibly or irreversibly binding at the enzyme's active site in such amanner as to impair or abolish ATP binding.

In another preferred embodiment, the compound of the invention isadministered in an amount sufficient to inhibit PLK2 and/or PLK3.

A further aspect of the invention relates to a method of inhibiting PLKin a cell comprising contacting said cell with an amount of a compoundof formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, such thatPLK is inhibited in said cell.

Yet another aspect of the invention relates to a method of treating aproliferative disorder comprising inhibiting PLK by administering to asubject in need thereof, a therapeutically effective amount of acompound of formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,such that treatment of said proliferative disorder occurs.

In another preferred embodiment, the compound of the invention isadministered in an amount sufficient to inhibit at least one aurorakinase. Preferably, the aurora kinase is aurora kinase A, aurora kinaseB or aurora kinase C.

A further aspect of the invention relates to a method of treating anaurora kinase-dependent disorder, said method comprising administeringto a subject in need thereof, a compound of the invention or apharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as defined above in an amountsufficient to inhibit an aurora kinase.

Another aspect relates to the use of a compound of the invention forinhibiting a protein kinase.

A further aspect of the invention relates to a method of inhibiting aprotein kinase, said method comprising contacting said protein kinasewith a compound of the invention.

Preferably, the protein kinase is selected from an aurora kinase and aPLK. More preferably, the protein kinase is a PLK, more preferably PLK1.

Eventhough the compounds of the present invention (including theirpharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters and pharmaceuticallyacceptable solvates) can be administered alone, they will generally beadministered in admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier, excipient ordiluent, particularly for human therapy. The pharmaceutical compositionsmay be for human or animal usage in human and veterinary medicine.

Salts/Esters

The compounds of the invention can be present as salts or esters, inparticular pharmaceutically acceptable salts or esters.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of the inventioninclude suitable acid addition or base salts thereof. A review ofsuitable pharmaceutical salts may be found in Berge et al, J Pharm Sci,66, 1-19 (1977). Salts are formed, for example with strong inorganicacids such as mineral acids, e.g. sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid orhydrohalic acids; with strong organic carboxylic acids, such asalkanecarboxylic acids of 1 to 4 carbon atoms which are unsubstituted orsubstituted (e.g., by halogen), such as acetic acid; with saturated orunsaturated dicarboxylic acids, for example oxalic, malonic, succinic,maleic, fumaric, phthalic or tetraphthalic; with hydroxycarboxylicacids, for example ascorbic, glycolic, lactic, malic, tartaric or citricacid; with aminoacids, for example aspartic or glutamic acid; withbenzoic acid; or with organic sulfonic acids, such as (C₁-C₄)-alkyl- oraryl-sulfonic acids which are unsubstituted or substituted (for example,by a halogen) such as methane- or p-toluene sulfonic acid. Preferably,the salt is an HCl salt.

Esters are formed either using organic acids or alcohols/hydroxides,depending on the functional group being esterified. Organic acidsinclude carboxylic acids, such as alkanecarboxylic acids of 1 to 12carbon atoms which are unsubstituted or substituted (e.g., by halogen),such as acetic acid; with saturated or unsaturated dicarboxylic acid,for example oxalic, malonic, succinic, maleic, fumaric, phthalic ortetraphthalic; with hydroxycarboxylic acids, for example ascorbic,glycolic, lactic, malic, tartaric or citric acid; with aminoacids, forexample aspartic or glutamic acid; with benzoic acid; or with organicsulfonic acids, such as (C₁-C₄)-alkyl- or aryl-sulfonic acids which areunsubstituted or substituted (for example, by a halogen) such asmethane- or p-toluene sulfonic acid. Suitable hydroxides includeinorganic hydroxides, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide,calcium hydroxide, aluminium hydroxide. Alcohols include alkanealcoholsof 1-12 carbon atoms which may be unsubstituted or substituted, e.g. bya halogen).

Enantiomers/Tautomers

In all aspects of the present invention previously discussed, theinvention includes, where appropriate all enantiomers and tautomers ofthe compounds of the invention. The person skilled in the art willrecognise compounds that possess an optical properties (one or morechiral carbon atoms) or tautomeric characteristics. The correspondingenantiomers and/or tautomers may be isolated/prepared by methods knownin the art.

Stereo and Geometric Isomers

Some of the compounds of the invention may exist as stereoisomers and/orgeometric isomers—e.g. they may possess one or more asymmetric and/orgeometric centres and so may exist in two or more stereoisomeric and/orgeometric forms. The present invention contemplates the use of all theindividual stereoisomers and geometric isomers of those inhibitoragents, and mixtures thereof. The terms used in the claims encompassthese forms, provided said forms retain the appropriate functionalactivity (though not necessarily to the same degree).

The present invention also includes all suitable isotopic variations ofthe agent or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. An isotopicvariation of an agent of the present invention or a pharmaceuticallyacceptable salt thereof is defined as one in which at least one atom isreplaced by an atom having the same atomic number but an atomic massdifferent from the atomic mass usually found in nature. Examples ofisotopes that can be incorporated into the agent and pharmaceuticallyacceptable salts thereof include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen,oxygen, phosphorus, sulphur, fluorine and chlorine such as ²H, ³H, ¹³C,¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ³¹P, ³²P, ³⁵S, ¹⁸F and ³⁶Cl, respectively. Certainisotopic variations of the agent and pharmaceutically acceptable saltsthereof, for example, those in which a radioactive isotope such as ³H or¹⁴C is incorporated, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissuedistribution studies. Tritiated, i.e., ³H, and carbon-14, i.e., ¹⁴C,isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation anddetectability. Further, substitution with isotopes such as deuterium,i.e., ²H, may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting fromgreater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life orreduced dosage requirements and hence may be preferred in somecircumstances. Isotopic variations of the agent of the present inventionand pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof of this invention cangenerally be prepared by conventional procedures using appropriateisotopic variations of suitable reagents.

Solvates

The present invention also includes solvate forms of the compounds ofthe present invention. The terms used in the claims encompass theseforms.

Polymorphs

The invention furthermore relates to the compounds of the presentinvention in their various crystalline forms, polymorphic forms and (an)hydrous forms. It is well established within the pharmaceutical industrythat chemical compounds may be isolated in any of such forms by slightlyvarying the method of purification and or isolation form the solventsused in the synthetic preparation of such compounds.

Prodrugs

The invention further includes the compounds of the present invention inprodrug form. Such prodrugs are generally compounds of the inventionwherein one or more appropriate groups have been modified such that themodification may be reversed upon administration to a human or mammaliansubject. Such reversion is usually performed by an enzyme naturallypresent in such subject, though it is possible for a second agent to beadministered together with such a prodrug in order to perform thereversion in vivo. Examples of such modifications include ester (forexample, any of those described above), wherein the reversion may becarried out be an esterase etc. Other such systems will be well known tothose skilled in the art.

Administration

The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be adaptedfor oral, rectal, vaginal, parenteral, intramuscular, intraperitoneal,intraarterial, intrathecal, intrabronchial, subcutaneous, intradermal,intravenous, nasal, buccal or sublingual routes of administration.

For oral administration, particular use is made of compressed tablets,pills, tablets, gellules, drops, and capsules. Preferably, thesecompositions contain from 1 to 250 mg and more preferably from 10-100mg, of active ingredient per dose.

Other forms of administration comprise solutions or emulsions which maybe injected intravenously, intraarterially, intrathecally,subcutaneously, intradermally, intraperitoneally or intramuscularly, andwhich are prepared from sterile or sterilisable solutions. Thepharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may also be in formof suppositories, pessaries, suspensions, emulsions, lotions, ointments,creams, gels, sprays, solutions or dusting powders.

An alternative means of transdermal administration is by use of a skinpatch. For example, the active ingredient can be incorporated into acream consisting of an aqueous emulsion of polyethylene glycols orliquid paraffin. The active ingredient can also be incorporated, at aconcentration of between 1 and 10% by weight, into an ointmentconsisting of a white wax or white soft paraffin base together with suchstabilisers and preservatives as may be required.

Injectable forms may contain between 10-1000 mg, preferably between10-250 mg, of active ingredient per dose.

Compositions may be formulated in unit dosage form, i.e., in the form ofdiscrete portions containing a unit dose, or a multiple or sub-unit of aunit dose.

Dosage

A person of ordinary skill in the art can easily determine anappropriate dose of one of the instant compositions to administer to asubject without undue experimentation. Typically, a physician willdetermine the actual dosage which will be most suitable for anindividual patient and it will depend on a variety of factors includingthe activity of the specific compound employed, the metabolic stabilityand length of action of that compound, the age, body weight, generalhealth, sex, diet, mode and time of administration, rate of excretion,drug combination, the severity of the particular condition, and theindividual undergoing therapy. The dosages disclosed herein areexemplary of the average case. There can of course be individualinstances where higher or lower dosage ranges are merited, and such arewithin the scope of this invention.

Depending upon the need, the agent may be administered at a dose of from0.01 to 30 mg/kg body weight, such as from 0.1 to 10 mg/kg, morepreferably from 0.1 to 1 mg/kg body weight.

In an exemplary embodiment, one or more doses of 10 to 150 mg/day willbe administered to the patient for the treatment of malignancy.

Combinations

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the one or more compounds of theinvention are administered in combination with one or more other activeagents, for example, existing anticancer drugs available on the market.In such cases, the compounds of the invention may be administeredconsecutively, simultaneously or sequentially with the one or more otheractive agents.

Anticancer drugs in general are more effective when used in combination.In particular, combination therapy is desirable in order to avoid anoverlap of major toxicities, mechanism of action and resistancemechanism(s). Furthermore, it is also desirable to administer most drugsat their maximum tolerated doses with minimum time intervals betweensuch doses. The major advantages of combining chemotherapeutic drugs arethat it may promote additive or possible synergistic effects throughbiochemical interactions and also may decrease the emergence ofresistance in early tumor cells which would have been otherwiseresponsive to initial chemotherapy with a single agent. An example ofthe use of biochemical interactions in selecting drug combinations isdemonstrated by the administration of leucovorin to increase the bindingof an active intracellular metabolite of 5-fluorouracil to its target,thymidylate synthase, thus increasing its cytotoxic effects.

Numerous combinations are used in current treatments of cancer andleukemia. A more extensive review of medical practices may be found in“Oncologic Therapies” edited by E. E. Yokes and H. M. Golomb, publishedby Springer.

Beneficial combinations may be suggested by studying the growthinhibitory activity of the test compounds with agents known or suspectedof being valuable in the treatment of a particular cancer initially orcell lines derived from that cancer. This procedure can also be used todetermine the order of administration of the agents, i.e. before,simultaneously, or after delivery. Such scheduling may be a feature ofall the cycle acting agents identified herein.

Process

Another aspect relates to a process for preparing a compound of theinvention, said process comprising the steps of:

-   -   (i) converting a compound of formula (II) to a compound of        formula (IV) either directly or via isolation of a compound of        formula (III); and    -   (ii) converting said compound of formula (IV) to a compound of        formula (I)

Preferably, step (i) comprises heating said compound of formula (II)with NH₄Cl and Fe in EtOH/H₂O.

The present invention is further illustrated by way of the followingnon-limiting examples, and with reference to the following figures,wherein:

FIG. 1 shows the area under the curve (AUC) for the plasma concentrationof compounds A-H versus time for each compound tested. The dosingvehicle across these experiments remained constant (intravenous=citratebuffer pH 3, 1 mL/kg; oral=DMA/PEG400/10 mM Tartrate buffer, pH 4(1:3:6), 5 ml/kg);

FIG. 2 represents the same data as FIG. 1, but in the form of oralbioavailability (% F) for each compound.

Intermediates 13-19: 4-(amine-substituted)cyclohexanamines

1. [Analogous to Method III in Abdel-Magid A. F. et al. (1996) J. Org.Chem., 61, 3849-3862] sodium triacetoxyborohydride (1.5 eq), acetic acid(1 eq), amine (1.1 eq), THF, rt 20 h; 2. H₂, 10% Pd/C, 60° C., methanol,flow hydrogenation; 3. sodium iodide (4 eq), chlorotrimethylsilane (4eq), acetonitrile, 0° C.-rt, 18 h.

Step 1:

N-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-aminocyclohexanone, a compound known in the art[WO2007/002181 A2] (typically 1 mmol scale), was added to a reactiontube containing THF (5 mL), the appropriate substituted-piperazine,-homopiperazine, or morpholine, along with acetic acid and sodiumtriacetoxyborohydride. The reaction was stirred at ambient temperaturefor 20 hours. The reaction was quenched with NaHCO₃ solution (2 mL)before acidifying to pH2 with 1N HCl solution. The mixture was washedwith EtOAc before separating the aqueous layer and basifying to pH10with 2N NaOH solution. The product was extracted into EtOAc, which waswashed with sat. NaCl, dried (MgSO₄) and evaporated under reducedpressure to provide the required benzyl4-(amine-substituted)cyclohexylcarbamate.

Step 2:

Each benzyl 4-(amine-substituted)cyclohexylcarbamate were dissolved inmethanol to a concentration of 0.05 M. Hydrogenation was conducted usingan H-Cube™ (ThalesNano Inc.) flow reactor at 1 mL/mim flow rate over 10%Pd/C catalyst heated to 60° C. under full hydrogen mode. Concentrationunder reduced pressure provided the desired4-(amine-substituted)cyclohexanamine product as oils. Solidhydrochloride salts could be obtained by stirring with ethereal HCl.

Where it was required to selectively deprotect the benzylcarbamates inthe presence of an N-benzyl group (intermediates 16 & 18), step 3 wasemployed instead of step 2.

Step 3:

Sodium iodide (1.5 mmol, 4eq) was dissolved in anhydrous acetonitrile (5mL) and was stirred whilst chlorotrimethylsilane (1.5 mmol, 4 eq) wasadded. After 5 minutes this mixture was added slowly to a solution ofthe 4-(amine-substituted)cyclohexanamine dissolved in anhydrousacetonitrile (2 mL) cooled in an ice-water bath. After 1 hour thecooling bath was removed and the RM was stirred at ambient temperaturefor 18 hours. RM was concentrated under reduced pressure and redissolvedin 1% water in methanol solution. The mixture was absorbed onto an SCXII column, washed with methanol and eluted with ammonia in methanol.Concentrated in vacuo to provide the desired4-(amine-substituted)cyclohexanamine.

Example 3

A full-length human CDC25C clone was isolated by PCR from HeLa mRNA andwas inserted on a BamHI-HindIII fragment into pRsetA. The amino terminalfragment of CDC25C (encoding residues 1-300) was excised from thisvector and inserted into pET28a (between the NcoI and BamHI sites).Expression was under the control of the T7 promoter, and the encodedprotein contained a His₆ tag at the carboxyl terminus. The vector wastransformed into E. coli strain BRL(DE3) pLysS for expressionexperiments. CDC25C was expressed in BL21(DE3) RIL bacteria cells, grownin LB media at 37° C. until OD_(600 nm) of 0.6 was reached. Theexpression was induced with 1 mM IPTG and the bacterial culture wasgrown further for 3 h. The bacteria were harvested by centrifugation andthe cell pellet was re-suspended in 50 mM Tris pH 7.5 and 10% sucrose,flash frozen, and stored at −70° C. until used. CDC25C protein waspurified from E. coli inclusion bodies. The inclusion bodies wereisolated in a buffer (50 mM Tris pH 8.0, 2 mM EDTA, 100 mM NaCl, 0.5%triton X-100). After denaturation in the presence of 6 M urea, theprotein was refolded via slow dialysis of the urea. The protein wasstored in 25 mM Tris pH 8.0, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA and 10%glycerol at −70° C. until used.

A full-length human PLK1 (XM_(—)047240) (amino acids 1-603) clone wasamplified from a foetal lung cDNA library using primers incorporatingrestriction enzyme sites. The 5′ primer(gccgctagcgacgatgacgataagatgagtgctgcagtgactgcagggaagc) had an Nhe1 siteprior to the ATG start codon. The 3′ primer (ggaattcttaggaggccttgagacgg)incorporated a stop codon prior to the EcoR1 site. The PCR product wascloned into the Nhe1/EcoR1 sites of a baculovirus expression vector,pSSP1. Cloning into this vector resulted in a His₆ tag fusion at theamino terminus of the PLK1 construct. Sf9 cells of a passage number lessthan 20 were split back to give a 300 mL culture volume, at a celldensity of 1.5×10⁶ cells/mL. Cells were only used for expression inlogarithmic growth phase. PLK1 baculovirus (from P2 amplification) wasadded to give a multiplicity of infection of 3, this is equivalent to 3virus particles for each insect cell. The flasks were incubated at 27°C., with shaking at 100 r.p.m. for 48 h. On harvest, cell density andviability was determined, the cultures spun down at 2500 r.p.m. for 5min and washed with ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline. The wash wasre-spun at the same speed and the pellet was snap frozen. PLK1 proteinwas purified on a metal affinity column. The insect cell pellet waslysed in a buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mMβ-mercaptoethanol, 1 mM PMSF, 1 mM benzamidine, 20 mM imidazole andprotease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma) and the pre-cleared supernatant wasloaded onto NiNTA-agarose (Qiagen). The affinity column was washed withthe lysis buffer and the bound protein was eluted with 250 mM imidazolein the same buffer. After overnight dialysis against 25 mM Tris HCl, pH7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, 1 mM PMSF, 1 mM benzamidine, proteaseinhibitors cocktail (Sigma) and 10% glycerol, the purified protein wasstored at −70° C. until used.

Example 4

PLK1 protein kinase assays were carried out using a 96-well plate formatby incubating CDC25C (2 μg/well) with PLK1 (1 μg/well) in 20 mM Tris/HClbuffer pH 7.5, supplemented with 25 mM β-glycerophosphate, 5 mM EGTA, 1mM DTT and 1 mM NaVO₃. Serial dilutions of test compound in assay bufferwere added. Reaction was initiated by the addition of 100 μM ATP and 0.5μCi of [γ-³²P]-ATP. The reaction mixture was incubated at 30° C. for 1h, then stopped with 75 mM aq orthophosphoric acid, transferred onto a96-well P81 filter plate (Whatman), dried, and the extent of CDC25Cphosphorylation was assessed by scintillation counting using a PackardTopCount plate reader. The raw assay data was analysed by non-linearregression analysis parameters and IC₅₀ values were determined using theequation: y=A+((B−A)/(1+((C/x)^D))), where y is % inhibition, A isminimum inhibition, B is maximum inhibition, C is EC₅₀, and D is theslope factor.

Cellular proliferation assays using human tumour cell lines (obtainedfrom the American Type Culture Collection, 10801 University Boulevard,Manessas, Va. 20110-2209, USA) were carried out. Standard 72-h MTT(thiazolyl blue; 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide) assays were performed (Loveland et al, Biochem. Int., 1992, 27,501;Haselsberger et al, Anti Cancer Drugs, 1996, 7, 331). In short:cells were seeded into 96-well plates according to doubling time andincubated overnight at 37° C. Test compounds were made up in DMSO and a1/3 dilution series prepared in 100 μL cell media, added to cells (intriplicates) and incubated for 72 h at 37° C. MTT was made up as a stockof 5 mg/mL in cell media and filter-sterilised. Media was removed fromcells followed by a wash with 200 μL PBS. MTT solution was then added at20 μL per well and incubated in the dark at 37° C. for 4 h. MTT solutionwas removed and cells again washed with 200 μL PBS. MTT dye wassolubilised with 200 μL per well of DMSO with agitation. Absorbance wasread at 540 nm and data analysed using curve-fitting software (GraphPadPrism version 3.00 for Windows, GraphPad Software, San Diego Calif. USA)to determine IC₅₀ values (concentration of test compound which inhibitscell growth by 50%).

PLK Selectivity

Table 4 shows the selectivity of compound [218] for PLK1 over PLK2 andPLK3 compared with selected compounds of the prior art. By way ofillustration, compound [218] of the invention is twice as selective forPLK1 versus PLK 2 compared to compound [I-64] of WO 07/095188, ca 6-foldmore selective than compound [I-76] and 7-fold more selective thancompound [I-4] of WO 07/095188. Similarly, compound [218] is 5-fold moreselective for PLK1 versus PLK3 compared to compound [I-64] of WO07/095188, ca 12-fold more selective than compound [I-76] and 5-foldmore selective than compound [I-4] of WO 07/095188.

Solubility Studies

Table 5 shows that compound [254] (boxed structure below) has superiorsolubility and/or pharmacokinetic properties when compared tostructurally related compounds already known in the art.

Nephelometry Studies

If a DMSO solution of a water soluble compound is introduced intoaqueous buffer, the mixture remains clear unless the aqueous solubilitylimit is reached. Above the solubility limit, precipitation occurs andlight travelling through the turbid suspension is scattered. Themeasurement of the intensity of the scattered light is the basis ofnephelometric solubility determination.

Selected compounds were screened using a nephelometer to identify theconcentration at which turbidity occurs, thereby giving an indication ofkinetic solubility. By nephelometry (2% DMSO:98% phosphate bufferedsaline pH 7.5) compound [254] was freely soluble at 200 μM (>0.11 mg/mL)which is the highest concentration tested in this assay. In contrast, inthe same nephelometry assay, the maximum soluble concentration of priorart Example [I-253] of WO 07/095188 was determined to be 75 μM (Table6). This shows that compound [254] is more soluble in aqueous buffer inthe concentration range used to study compound activity in vitro.

Pharmacokinetic Studies

In order to study compounds in vivo, higher concentrations are oftenrequired. To achieve these higher concentrations, salt forms ofcompounds are normally utilised.

Compound [254] and Example [I-76] of WO 07/095188 were studied as thefree base and hydrochloride salts in various pharmaceutically relevantsolvent mixtures that can be used for administration of compounds toliving organisms. Having solubilized the compound by heating in thesolvent, the solutions were cooled to 25° C. and observed. Rather thanforming a precipitate, supersaturated mixtures tend to form a gelatinousmesophase after cooling that is not suitable or convenient for dosing.It is clear from the data presented in Table 5 that compound [254] andits HCl salt have consistently better solution profiles than Example[I-76] and its corresponding HCl salt.

The HCl salt of Example [I-76] was administered to mice as a solution in3% DMA 97% water by intravenous injection. The maximum tolerated doseappears to be dictated by reaching the maximum concentration of compoundin stable solution. At the maximum tolerated dose no xenograftantitumour efficacy was observed (qd×7 dosing) as insufficient compoundconcentration could be administered. In contrast, compound [254] and itssalt, having significantly higher water solubility is able to beinjected at concentrations more likely to produce efficacy in thetreatment of diseases.

Pharmacokinetic Properties of Compound [371]

(a) Methodology

Preliminary investigations of the pharmacokinetics of selected compoundswere carried out in fasted conscious CD-1 mice (25-30 g). Compounds weredosed as 1 mg/kg by intravenous administration or 5-10 mg/kg by oralroute. Twenty one male mice per administration route (n=3 mice per timepoint) received dose solution by single bolus injection in the tail veinor by oral gavage. Blood samples were collected by cardiac puncture at5, 15, 30, 60, 120, 240 and 360 min following iv administration and at30, 60, 120, 240, 360, 480 and 1440 min following oral administration.Blood samples were collected into tubes containing the anti-coagulantlithium heparin, mixed and placed promptly on crushed ice. Plasma wasderived from whole blood by centrifugation, frozen and stored at −80° C.prior to analysis. Plasma concentrations were determined by liquidchromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in electrospray positive mode(ESI LC/MS/MS) using calibration curves prepared in the appropriatematrix. The lower level of quantification (LLOQ) in all cases was ca. 5ng/mL. Plasma concentration-time data was processed using the computerprogram WinNonLin version 5.2 from which areas under the plasmaconcentration-time curve (AUC_(all)) were calculated bynon-compartmental analysis using Model 201 (IV-bolus Input) or Model 200(Extravascular Input).

(b) Comparison of Compounds [371] and [378] with Selected Prior ArtCompounds

Further pharmacokinetic studies were carried to compare compounds [371]and [378] with a series of related analogues (see Table 7; compound[371] corresponds to compound H; compound [378] corresponds to compoundI).

FIG. 1 plots the area under the curve (AUC) for plasma concentration vstime for each compound tested. The dosing vehicle across theseexperiments remained constant (intravenous=citrate buffer pH 3, 1 mL/kg;oral=DMA/PEG400/10 nM Tartrate buffer, pH 4 (1:3:6), 5 ml/kg). FIG. 2represents the same data in the form of oral bioavailability (% F) foreach compound.

The results indicate that compounds H and I exhibit markedly superiorsystemic exposure and oral bioavailability compared to compounds A-G.

Example 9

(a) Cellular Efflux Data

In vitro cell viability assays have been used to measure the effect ofdrug accumulation in paired parental and drug resistant tumour celllines. The pairs used are the human ovarian carcinoma A2780 line withits MDR counterpart A2780/ADR and the human uterine sarcoma MES-SA linewith its MDR counterpart MES-SA/Dx5 [Wesolowska O., et al. (2005)Anticancer Res., 25, 383-389].

Method: Cultivated human tumour cells of the ovarian cell line A2780 andits doxorubicin-resistant pair, A2780/ADR and the uterine cell lineMES-SA and its doxorubicin-resistant pair, MES-SA/DX5 were seeded at3000 cells per well in Nunc 96-well tissue culture plates, 100 μl perwell in DMEM media containing 10% foetal calf serum andpenicillin/streptomycin. The wells of the first column in each platewere filled with 100 μl DMEM media instead of cells to provide a blankcontrol for the Alamar Blue. The cells were incubated overnight at 37°C. and 5% CO₂. The compounds of interest, dissolved in DMSO, were addedon to the cells at various concentrations. Dilutions of the compoundswere first prepared in DMEM at twice the final desired concentration and100 μl of the dilutions added on to the cells. Each set of compoundswere tested in triplicate in each cell line. After 72 hours incubation,20 μl Alamar Blue reagent (AbD Serotec) were added to each well andincubated for 3 hours. The plates were then read at 544/595 nm.

The amount of Alamar Blue reagent reacted represents the metabolicactivity of the cells. The relative cell activity was calculated as apercentage of the control (cells without compound) and the activecompound concentration which inhibited the cell activity by 50% (IC₅₀)was derived. The values were calculated from the average of threeindividual measurements with blank correction (medium-only control).

The assay was performed on the Biomek FxP, automation platform fromBeckman Coulter. The plates were read on the Paradigm plate readersupplied by Beckman Coulter. Asymmetry ratios were calculated as theIC₅₀ value of the compound in the drug resistant cells divided by theIC₅₀ value in the parental cells. FIG. 3 shows a comparison of selectedcompounds versus prior art compounds A′-J′ (defined in Table 8) inparental and MDR tumor cells. Asymmetry ratios are presented relative tocompound [378].

(b) Inhibition of PLK1

In addition, compounds of this invention which exhibit low MDR/parentalcell asymmetry in cell viability assays are also more effective atinhibiting PLK1 within MDR tumour cells than compounds of the prior art.Thus, they have greater potential as therapeutic PLK inhibitors. Theintermediate filament protein vimentin is a cellular target of PLK1phosphorylation. Inhibition of PLK1 is associated with a decrease inphospho-vimentin. This has been measured in the A2780- A2780/ADR cellline pair.

Method: A2780 cells and A2780/ADR cells were plated in separate 96-wellplates (Perkin Elmer) at a density of 20 000 cells/well and incubatedovernight at 37° C. and 5% CO₂. Test compounds were added to cells at arange of concentrations, with triplicate wells for each concentration(top concentration of DMSO on cells was 0.1%). After 7 hrs incubation,the cells were fixed in ice-cold 3.7% formaldehyde for 10mins. The cellswere washed in PBS, then permeabilised in cold methanol for 10 mins. Thecells were washed again in PBS then incubated with PBS containing 0.1%Triton X-100 for 5mins. Cells were washed once with PBS containing 1%bovine serum albumin (Sigma) then incubated for 3hrs with antibodies tophospho-histone H3-Ser10 (1:4000; Millipore) and phospho-vimentin-Ser82(1:1000; MBL), in 1% bovine serum albumin. Antibodies were detected withgoat anti-mouse IgG conjugated to Alexafluor 488 (Invitrogen) and goatanti-rabbit IgG conjugated to Alexafluor 546 (Invitrogen), in 1% bovineserum albumin with 300nM DAPI (Cambridge Biosciences). Plates werescanned on a Cellomics Arrayscan II HCS Reader (Cellomics) using a 10×objective. The Cell Health Profiling V2 Bioapplication (Cellomics) wasused to acquire and analyse the images. Phospho-vimentin staining, atintensities above a user-defined threshold, was measured in mitoticcells only (defined by the presence of phospho-histone H3) and theaverage staining intensity per mitotic cell for each well was reported.IC₅₀ values were derived using average values from three replicatewells. Asymmetry ratios were calculated as the IC₅₀ value of thecompound in the drug resistant A2780/ADR cells divided by the IC₅₀ valuein the parental A2780 cells. FIG. 3 shows a comparison of selectedcompounds versus prior art compounds A′-J′ (defined in Table 8) inparental and MDR tumor cells. As before, asymmetry ratios are presentedrelative to compound [378].
